01/18/2013 - Baseball Factory National Spring Training at Pirate City Ricky is a young middle INF with a thin frame. Defensively, Ricky has sure hands, active feet, and he moves with good agility to the ball. He fields low, in a square position, and throws with a loose arm action with accuracy and carry to his target. Fielding further out front and following his throws will improve defense. At the plate, Ricky has a square set-up, a proper load, and a good stride. He is a contact hitter with good barrel accuracy, who puts the ball in play. A shorter swing and more lower 1/2 will spike hitting numbers.
